S.I. Borough Prez James Molinaro Thinks Lady Gaga’s a “Slut.” And He’s Right

James Molinaro is unintentionally correct in his assessment that Lady Gaga is a slut.NY1

Lady Gaga recently smoked a joint on stage during a concert in Amsterdam — which makes her a “slut,” according to Staten Island Borough President James Molinaro.

“To me, she’s not an actress, she is a slut in the pure, in the pure meaning of the word,” the BP said last night at an event kicking off one of his anti-drug programs.

So, not only is Gaga a “slut,” she’s a slut in the “pure meaning of the word,” which technically makes Molinaro right. Granted, he’s still an asshole, but his being a linguistic purist technically makes him unintentionally correct in his assessment of Gaga.

The contemporary meaning of the word “slut” typically is used to describe someone who has indiscriminate sex with several, several people. But if Molinaro wants to get pure, let’s get pure — by examining the etymology of the word.

The word “slut” dates back to the early 1400s, when it was used to
describe someone — male or female — who was “dirty or slovenly.”

Let’s
focus on “slovenly” — “dirty” tends to be slightly more
subjective/offensive when discussing the appearance of an actual human
being.

In other words, Lady Gaga has made it clear that she shows “little concern” if
some asshole like Molinaro — or anyone else — thinks she’s a slut. And that’s because
she’s comfortable with who she is. Thus, she’s “casual,” and — in the
pure form of the word — a slut.
